This is likely your alternator. I had the same thing happen last week with the red battery warning light followed by the car dying. Your car will...
Take a ratchet with a 10mm socket and you can change it where you buy it. My battery went stone dead for several weeks while in storage on my...
The alternative line information is a huge help. I planned to have the modified CDV installed two years ago and was told by my BMW shop that one...
Problem solved. The pads were indeed causing the chirp by moving in the calipers when traveling over sharp bumps. The Axxis Deluxe pads have a very...
Those sound like anti-rattle clips. My Yukon has them but I don't recall my e46 having similar clips when I changed the pads and there are none...
This made me think about the tension on the clips. I replaced them because they were tarnished but I remember the new clips were bent such that...
It's been quite some time since I changed the pads but I only remember the clips which attach to the outside of the caliper. I replaced those...

I've been trying to track down a front suspension chirp for almost 12 mos. with no luck. I have a 2002 330cic with 70k miles. I changed the LCAs...
Closing the loop for the benefit of others. I gave up and took the car to the dealer this week. It took them two days, 3 smoke tests and over 4...
